Fun project that we do in our class recently:
1. Flora Expo
We plant the seeds and grow the plants. Each students get 1 pot for planting the seeds and 1 pot of the plant to be taken care of. They learn how to plant seeds, move the plant from poly bag to the pot and take care of the plant. We write the progress in the journal day by day. In the end of this activity we're going to have Flora Expo. We will show the plants, have presentation about them and sell them to the best buyers :)
2. Mystery Skype (Modified Version) & Cross Cultural Understanding
The best way to learn about human differences is by having new friends from different country that has different race, religion, language, and culture. We will have mystery skype program with Canadian International School in Hong Kong this October. We have to modify this program to fit the students' need. The first session, our new friends will guess where we live based on the conversation that we have. We will ask them to explain about themselves and note it. A week after we're going to have the second session, they will guess our location and show it on the map and we will present our pictures with short presentation about our new friends.
We also join the cultural program with school in USA. We will send our cultural video about Indonesia and they will send them. We're excited to learn about our friends' cultures just as excited as to learn about our own cultures.
3. The Monsters
We will learn about 2D shapes this term. We will have International Collaboration with school in USA. We're going to make our own 2D monsters, record the clues for our new friends in USA, send our pictures and videos by email. They will do the same things by sending us their pictures and videos. We are going to draw the monsters based on the clues that they give to us. Let's guess! Can we draw exactly the same monsters? :)
We have so much fun in our class, how about in your class? Let's share ideas!
